1 At that time, Judah left his brothers. He went down to stay with a man named Hirah. Hirah was from the town of Adullam.
2 There Judah met the daughter of a man from Canaan. His name was Shua. Judah married her and made love to her.
3 She became pregnant. She had a son. They named him Er.
4 She became pregnant again and had another son. She named him Onan.
5 She had still another son. She named him Shelah. He was born at Kezib.
6 Judah got a wife for his oldest son Er. Her name was Tamar.
7 But Judah's oldest son Er was evil in the Lord's eyes. So the Lord put him to death.
